Principal Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer

Extropic; Boston (MA); On-site; USD 150,000 - 195,000; Full time

Job summary

Extropic seeks an Analog/Mixed-Signal Engineer to help accelerate our hardware development. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in Analog/Mixed-Signal design, CMOS device characteristics, noise, mismatch, linearity, and the trade-offs involved in chip-level decisions.

You will work on designing analog blocks, high-speed circuits, and supporting tape-out verification. Strong Cadence skills, lab testing proficiency, and familiarity with pre-silicon validation are essential.

Qualifications

• 5+ years relevant experience in Analog/Mixed Signal Engineering.
• Experience designing analog blocks (Comparator, op-amp, reference/bias generation, LDO regulators, filters, switch-cap, and data converters).
• Experience in design and layout of high-speed analog circuits (Frequency dividers, oscillators, and PLLs).
• In-depth knowledge of analog mixed-signal concepts (Noise, linearity, stability, low-power, and low-noise techniques).
• Deep understanding of reliability issues and layout effects (electro-migration) and mitigation strategies.
• Experience in lab-testing of mixed-signal circuits using test equipment.
• Comprehensive simulation skills in Cadence (PEX, Monte-Carlo, Corner analysis).
• Experience in supporting project tape-out verification (DRC, ERC, LVS).
• Proficiency in pre-silicon validation and top-level mixed-signal design simulations.
• Experience in designing with modern CMOS technology.
